Table 1.
Group | N | Males | Mean age (SD) – years |
---|---|---|---|
TD controls | 546 | 286 (52.4%) | 12.29 (3.46) |
Combined | 249 | 193 (77.5%) | 11.21 (3.02) |
Inattentive | 122 | 93 (76.2%) | 12.16 (3.00) |
Hyper/impulsive | 12 | 10 (83.0%) | 12.49 (4.62) |
Whole ADHD sample | 383 | 296 (77.3%) | 11.56 (2.99) |
TD, typically developing. Although the two-sample t-tests comparing TD controls vs. ADHD (p = 0.001) and combined vs. inattentive (p = 0.003) indicate statistical differences in age, these differences were not relevant for classification (total scores of a logistic regression based solely on age are 0.50 and 0.49, respectively, i.e., very close to the scores by chance).
